| Summary |
Practice-based film education is a crucial element in the institutional landscape of film. This book fills the gap in understanding practice-based film scholarship, focusing on Europe, Asia, and Australia. Practice-based film education is a crucial element in the institutional landscape of film. Despite its institutional significance, its decisive impact on the dynamics of entire film industries, the aspirations of film practitioners, and the content and form of the films that are produced, practice-based film education is still a neglected topic in film scholarship. The Education of the Filmmaker in Europe, Asia, and Australia is an attempt to begin to fill the lacuna in question by looking at film training programs in countries such as Lithuania, Scotland, Sweden, Australia, Japan, and others. Examining aspects of filmmaking such as environmental impact, influence on local culture, and sway over city policy, this book looks at how the training of filmmakers reaches beyond the films themselves to all aspects of culture and society |

Review: "Mette Hjort opens up an entirely new area of study in film and media studies by considering not only how film practice is taught in different parts of the world but why film practice is taught - giving light to social/cultural aesthetics and the political value of practice-based media education. The collection sets up a rich comparative structure that allows us to discover a whole new picture of youth activism and media training in different parts of the world."--Janine Marchessault, Canada Research Chair in Art and Digital Media, York University, Canada |
